Text Editor Spamming "6c"
I have been trying to get my first Linode up and running, but every time I try to use a text editor (nano, vi, vim) the text editor spams the string 6c. The keyboard is still responsive, but I cannot execute commands to edit the vi programs. I have tried this on Ubuntu, Arch, and Debian with the same issue. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Report back with the results of this:
echo $TERM
If TERM is undefined, you need to set it to something in your .bashrc/.zshrc.
If you're using Terminal.app on a Mac with ssh(1), use
export TERM=xterm-256color
If you use Windoze, you're on your own…but
export TERM=vt100
will probably solve your problem.
